These songs came to be a record accidentally and unintentionally. They
were written sporadically over a tumultuous two years riddled with
more valleys than mountaintops. We considered it a victory when we
could actually make ourselves get together to write, even if we
struggled to produce anything of any quality. Creativity was tough
amidst half-hearted business relationships, being dropped from our
label, inconsistent touring, and filing personal bankruptcy. It took a
toll on everything: our confidence, our outlook, our health, our
happiness.
In late 2015, our friend Brandi Carlile invited us to Seattle to play
a couple of shows in her hometown. It was there that we explained all
that had transpired with our career, how we were barely staying
afloat. It was also there that she told us she would be producing our
next record.
Once we saw that this fantasy could actually become a reality, the
frantic search for enough songs to make an album began. To our
surprise, we had many things to say, and though some were difficult to
write and slow to reveal themselves, we pushed onward.
The songs here carry a common thread of what remained when we felt
like we’d lost everything. It was in the hardest times that we saw the
core of where our music and our souls originate. We still had our
homes, our family, our friends, and our fans.
This is not a record about rising from the ashes. Rather, it is a
deep look into ourselves in an attempt to put out the flames. These
songs are our catharsis; an effort to forgive, an effort to heal, an
effort to look back into the darkness with newfound light and
undeterred fearlessness, an effort to redeem ourselves. The damage
was done, but our hearts remained; this is the product of that damage,
for worse and for better.
- Laura & Lydia (2017)
